Celebrating Excellence: Shawna Owen Named to Travel + Leisure's A-List

At Huffman Travel, we believe that extraordinary journeys begin with extraordinary advisors. We are beyond proud to share that Shawna Owen, CEO, has been recognized on Travel + Leisure's prestigious 2026 A-List! While we’re thrilled to celebrate this outstanding recognition, we also want to acknowledge the strength of our entire team, each of whom brings expertise and dedication to crafting remarkable travel experiences.

A Recognition of Excellence in Bespoke Travel

Each year, Travel + Leisure releases its A-List, a respected editorial selection of the world’s top travel advisors. The list recognizes professionals who consistently demonstrate deep destination knowledge, trusted industry relationships, and a proven ability to create exceptional travel experiences.

Importantly, inclusion is not purchased. Advisors are chosen by the publication’s editorial team based on reputation, client satisfaction, expertise, and access to experiences beyond what travelers can secure on their own.

"To be recognized on Travel + Leisure’s A-List for 2026 is incredibly meaningful, but what matters most to me is the trust our clients place in us. Every journey we design is personal. It is about understanding how someone wants to feel in the world, then shaping an experience that stays with them long after they return home." - Shawna Owen, CEO of Huffman Travel

Being named to the 2026 A-List places Shawna among the most regarded advisors globally. It reflects longstanding relationships with leading hotels, cruise lines, and on-the-ground partners, as well as access to preferred rates, VIP amenities, and unique opportunities for clients.

For Huffman Travel clients, this recognition affirms what they already know: their journeys are thoughtfully designed, seamlessly executed, and elevated by trusted connections around the world.

Congratulations to Shawna on this well-deserved recognition! Our whole team looks forward to another year of crafting extraordinary journeys. We are all leaders in our fields, and our entire team remains dedicated to delivering exceptional travel experiences.
